A British politician just called Donald Trump a racist

British law-makers debated whether to ban US Presidential
Candidate Donald Trump from the UK on Tuesday and
they didn't hold back their feelings on the issue.

During the debate, which had been triggered by
a huge petition, Labour MP Rupa Huq asked fellow Labour
MP Tulip Siddiq whether she was aware that Trump was racist,
homophobic, and misogynistic.

Here's what she said, the added emphasis is our.

I thank my honourable friend [Tulip Siddiw] for giving way, is
she aware that also, some of the things that people find
repellent about this individual [Donald Trump] is that
he's not only racist, but that he's
homophobic and misogynistic as well.

Siddiq responded by saying that there is an actual correlation
between the words Trump is using an increase in hate-crime. Here
is what she said with added emphasis from us.

The evidence I want to point to, the Center for Hate and
Extremism has pointed out that anti-Muslim hate crimes has
increased in line with the rhetoric that Donald Trump has been
using in the last three months of 2015 ...There is a very
real correlation between the words that Donald Trump is using and
the increase in hate crime ... I draw the line at
freedom of speech when it actually imports violent ideology which
is what is feel is happening.

While Huq and Siddiq thought that Trump should be banned, not
everyone agreed. Conservative MP Sir Edward Lee gave a list of
reasons why Trump should be allowed to into the UK if he wanted
to come.

It would give Trump publicity

It offends free speech

The US is a friendly country and Trump may become its
President

American Politics is completely different from US politics

Lee finished off by pointing out that Britain has welcomed Saudi
and Chinese leaders whose crimes are "far far worse than anything
Mr Trump can dream up.

"These are people who don't just talk about violence, they
practice violence on an extreme scale," he said.
